Nice... i start building my comp tomorow. I cant wait to know my score, i'll be sure to post it.

[seto]

AMD 1700+ (2.2 GHz)
Abit NF7-S nForce2

Score: 6264

Pretty nice. Does it run all nice and smooth for you?
I scored just under 7000 on the 2001 3d benchmark, which ran superb and smooth.
But i score 2500 on the ffxi benchmark which can run crappy at some bits..

[seto]

The game runs very smooth for me, I have everything turned on (bump mapping, uncompressed textures). However, I only run only at 1024 by 768 resolution since I have a 17" monitor.

Are you talking about 3DMark2001 SE?

FFXI Benchmark

my highest benchmark score landed on 6659. I'm running a p4 3.2 with a gig of ram, 80SATA hardrive 800FSB and an ATI Radeon 9800.

[MET4LFOXUS]

you also forgot to mention that you are a rich bastard.

[Sephiroth_Renzo]

Yeah i think so seto , 3DMark2001 but im not sure about the SE bit. (btw how much ram do you have seto?)

Anyway, if anyone knows. Which would stop my benchmark being a little bit laggy.

motherboard or processor? or would i need to upgrade both

current spec :

P4 1.5ghz
512 ram
Geforce Ti 4800 128 mb

[Alger]

nah, not rich, I saved up for this since I knew FFXI was under devlopment, took a while since I was working as a low level tech at a Networking Firm. I bought it for the sole purpose of playing FFXI. With that score, I'm fairly happy with it .

[Sephiroth_Renzo]

yay my score of 2500 is now 2821 thanks to the latest driver update from nvidia ^_^
Must get at least 3000......

Ok... after running some tests, they all seem to be telling me my *processor* is what needs upgrading.

Heres what i have :

[ Processors / Intel Pentium(R) 4 ]

Processor Properties:
Manufacturer Intel
Version Intel Pentium(R) 4
External Clock 400 MHz
Maximum Clock 2400 MHz
Current Clock 1500 MHz
Type Central Processor
Voltage 1.7 V
Status Enabled
Upgrade ZIF
Socket Designation Socket 478

Would this be a good choice in upgrade?

This is a kinda odd question to ask, but where exactly on that japanese website do you download the benchmark? If its that picture that pops up im so screwed...it says 1545....ahhh!!!

But these are my specs, that low score is impossible:

AMD athlon 1700+
Nvidia G Force 3
512 MB DDR Ram
37 Gig HDD (Need more, very badly)
19 inch Sync Moniter (Does that matter?)
Windows XP
Divx 9.0

Or maybe it was the fact that kazaa is downloading 20+ animes right now...argh...someone please help me asap...

Well, ty lots DarkenedShadow, I was hoping those weren't my results. I especially didn't want to upgrade this comp after only having it for a year lol! Well, restarting download now...

*Starts up Kazaa again to finish the anime downloads*

Hope that doesn't effect the score, lmao.

Results:

3532...

Ok this time im seriously going to shut Kazaa down. And I swear I will hunt any Taru Taru looking monster down and kill them all! Dumb little things slow it down lmao.

[cloudedlink]

Argh, dumb Taru Tarus, they will pay!! Only got a 3653 without kazaa on...
